My childhood JRPG. Never finished it, but loved it as a kid, then picked it up on a whim here on Steam, and ended up playing through it as an adult. This game is something special, it has flaws, decently apparent ones at that, but it really just has a certain charm that will never let it me go, and I love it. The characters are by far the best part of this game. If you love getting immersed in characters, and to feel like you know them, this game is for you. Not to mention the AMAZING soundtrack, as well as the gameplay. PLAY THIS WITH A FRIEND, IF YOU CAN. There are some sections where they won't have a character to play, and will have to wait, but they are few and far between. In my experience, those sections go by quick, and the co-op otherwise adds so much, so I think it's 100% worth it. Overall, 9/10 JRPG, I love this game with all my heart.

What can I even say about Tales of Symphonia? Honestly, chances are you’re either already a hardcore Tales fan and you know exactly why people love this game… or you’re completely new to the series, reading reviews and wondering whether this old title is still worth your time. And if you’re the second person, then wholeheartedly: Go for it. Especially if you love classic fantasy JRPGs. Just one thing I really want to make clear: don’t play Symphonia expecting the same feeling as the much later Tales games. To me, there is a very clear difference between this older era of Tales and what the series eventually became. Symphonia belongs to that classic style of Tales that I personally love. You have the overworld map. Cities and towns. Side quests. A group of characters going on a journey together. That wonderful feeling of leaving one place, travelling across the world and discovering what comes next. It is simply a very classic fantasy JRPG experience. And I mean that as a huge compliment. You’ll often see people praising the story and characters, and I understand why. I enjoyed the story a lot. I loved the game enough to play it more than once, which already says a lot for me. The characters are good too. Most of them, at least, they’re memorable and really give you that feeling of traveling with an actual party throughout a long adventure. Is it modern? No. That is actually part of why I love it. There is something about these older fantasy JRPGs that I miss, the feeling that you are setting out into this big fantasy world with your party… Symphonia has that. So if you’re craving a classic fantasy JRPG, I can very easily recommend it. And if you’re completely new to Tales, I also think it’s a wonderful way to understand why so many longtime fans became attached to this series in the first place.

To bad this is the 30 fps version, code is locked to frames so mods will speed up the game, original gamecube was 60 fps. Game still feels right though, and other than this technical issues game is pretty good.

Tales of Symphonia feels exactly like what it is: a classic JRPG from another era — for better and for worse. The charm is undeniable. The world, the music, the cast… they slowly wrap around you until the game starts feeling oddly cozy despite all the chaos happening in the story. Lloyd, Colette, Zelos, Regal, Sheena… there’s a sincerity to this adventure that modern RPGs sometimes struggle to recreate. And yet… some dungeons feel like they were designed by ancient gods of suffering. The puzzles themselves are often clever and thematically meaningful, but the execution can become exhausting: long gimmicks, repeated mechanics, restarting entire sections after small mistakes… there were moments where I genuinely needed a break before throwing myself into another temple. Still, the heart of the game kept pulling me back. Tales of Symphonia isn’t streamlined. It isn’t modern. It can be frustrating, clunky, and oddly cruel at times. But underneath all that is a world with warmth, memorable characters, beautiful music, and an adventure that slowly earns your affection. A flawed classic… but a lovable one.

I am on a binge of playing old games for the first time. Deus Ex was so damn fun. Then I played this....It's not nostalgia, older games are better than new ones.
